Metal & Color GenerationTake a walk down memory lane with Red, Blue, and Yellow, the games that started it all! Then revisit the best region ever in the original Johto games, Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

I rotate my choices in this gen. Wasn't the best gen in terms of starter Pokemon so I can't say I like one more than the other, but Totodile is probably the most useful of the three and was the one I chose on my first playthrough.

I always choose Cyndaquil just because I love its whole evolutionary and dislike both Chikorita and Totodile (especially Totodile). Feraligatr is terrifying (with a silly name!) and Meganium is pretty boring. Usually I hate Fire types, but strangely I adore Cyndaquil so it's nice to finally be able to use one haha. And it's so damn cute bejesus.

I usually choose Cyndaquil considering it's one of my favourite Pokémon. If I don't choose Cyndaquil than it's usually almost always Totodile. I like Chikorita but unfortunately I've never actually finished a game with it.

Back when I used to play GSC, I alternated between all three of them depending on what I felt like picking. My most favourite at the time was Totodile as it had that awesome Scratch which did not miss compared to Cyndaquil and Chikorita's Tackle with its 5% miss rate which really made a lot of difference and annoyed younger me. The second most often-picked was Cyndaquil, and lastly Chikorita. Sadly, my Crystal cartridge died on me, so I haven't played it in quite a while. If I were to play it again though, it'll be Cyndaquil ALL the way. <33

The very first time that I played through my Silver version (which was the first one I had) I chose Cyndaquil. I got all the way up to Red with him and then my cousin played and saved over my game file. I was so upset.

After that I chose Chikorita and fell more in love with her than I did my Cyndaquil. lol I was pretty devastated when the battery ran dry on that cartridge a few years ago. Pretty much depends on which version I play now which starter I choose. I usually stick with Chikorita on Silver, I go with Cyndaquil on Gold and Totodile on Crystal. No real reason, that's just the way I do it.

In Pokémon Silver, I chose Cyndaquil. I found it to be very cute, and I was a big fan of fire-types back then. I used to think that it was the most powerful type a Pokémon can have. xD When I got my hands on Pokémon Crystal, I decided to choose Chikorita. Chikorita was very hard to train, but when it finally evolved into a Meganium, it immediately became one of my greatest tanks. It was able to endure many of my opponent's hits, even the ones that are high in power. Thanks to that, I was able to defeat the Elite Four pretty easily.

Usually I chose Cyndaquil. Not because it's a fire-type, or the fact that Typhlosion looks awesome. It was because his move pool was far superior, in my opinion, than Meganium or Feraligatr.

However, when I got my hands on Crystal, I decided to give Totodile a try, mainly because I usually choose the Water-type pokemon as a starter *i.e Squirtle, Piplup, Oshawott.*. That Feraligatr single-handedly wrecked the Elite Four, most of the Kanto Region, and practically swept Red, with the exception of his Venusaur, who fell to my Piloswine.

I chose Cyndaquil in Silver & Gold and Totodile in Crystal version. I never chose Chikorita because I heard that using it was really challenging especially against Falkner and Bugsy at the start of the games.

i chose Cyndaquil the first time I played... man that first battle against the Slowpoke was a massive hassle. Took me like 15 tries. but it was worth it when i got my first Typhlosion i love that thing. I think i might still have it in my Gold cartridge but not sure...
